Probably of limited interest to non-French people, but the baccalaureate philosophy exam started at 8 this morning, and the essay questions are now out:
Vocational stream
Is Nature hostile to Man
Is the artist master of their own work
Academic stream
Can science satisfy our need for truth
Does the State owe us anything
Inspired or not?
Thinking of all those teenagers sweating on their exam papers in many different parts of the world...
pickAlternates sections on the author's list of favourite philosophers and on themes and questions. Mostly concerned with the European tradition with occasional glances at India. Does what it says on the tin, serves as an introduction.
An unfortunate example for a book published in 2020
pickWhew 😅…
I think philosophy is so tough for me because I‘m a consumptive reader; I‘m used to moving at a steady pace and when I dive into philosophy I‘m forced to slow down, to remind myself that these essays are not to be read once, but multiple times, to be discussed and dissected.
Anyway, despite its density, I‘m glad I read it. I‘ve had it for FOREVER having come across it in a library sale. It literally fell apart while reading it.
pickLibro pesante, impegnativo, che fa riflettere, forse anche troppo. Una soddisfazione arrivare fino alla fine e forse il libro più bello che mi letto. In qualche modo ti cambia.
